Twitter: @ua_uk_ A British lecturer's view of life in Ivano-Frankivsk and the provinces of western Ukraine. Блог британського викладача у Івано-Франківську. Focusing on everyday life during and after Euromaidan (Євромайдан) and its aftermath. I have a PhD in Slavonic Studies from a British university. I lived in Ukraine from August 2012 to June 2014. Now I am working in Giessen, Germany, as a postdoctoral researcher. I am not of Ukrainian origin.

Each evening now, a stream of cars drives around the city sounding their horns and people hanging out of their roofs with flags, while the leader of the cavalcade is equipped with a powerful sound system, calling people onto the streets and issuing the latest news.
